Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Days of the Dandies The series of recollections which the late Lord Lamington began to contribute to 'blackwood's Magazine' in January 1890, were brought to a premature close by his Lordship's much lamented death on 15th February. These reminiscences of a polished and brilliant society, which is little more than a tradition to the present generation, were so favourably received, and so widely noticed, that the present reprint will be generally acceptable. It must be a matter of deep regret that the rich and varied stores of memory whence these papers issued, are.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from D'orsay or the Complete Dandy Though there is not any authority for making the statement, we do not think that we are wrong in asserting that on the day when Adam first complained to Eve that She had not cut his fig-leaf breeches according to the latest fashion dandyism was born. It is not dead yet, only moribund, palsied, shaking and decrepit with old age, blown upon by an over-practical world of money-spinners and money-spenders. Joy seems to have become a thing of which it is necessary to go in pursuit; in the golden days of the dandies it was a good comrade which came almost without bail ing to those who desired its company. A real dandy would wither and wilt in a world where joy is SO much -of a stranger as it is now to most folk.

At the time of which she writes it was still possible to meet with fine examples of the breed, magnificent performers of 'life's commonplaces, ' to quote yet another of her happy sayings, men who knew how to dress and were not afraid of being seen in brilliant and sumptuous attire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Second Dandy Chater IF there is one place, in the wide world, more dreary and disconsolate-looking than another, on a gusty evening in March, it is that part of Essex which lies some twenty miles to the north of the Thames, and is bordered nowhere, so far as the eye can reach, by anything but flat and desolate marsh lands, and by swampy roads and fields. For there, all the contrary winds of Heaven seem to meet, to play a grand game of buffets with themselves, and everything else which rises an inch or two above the ground; there, the very sun, if he happen to have shown his face at all during the day, sinks more sullenly than anywhere else, as though dis gusted with the prospect, and glad to get to bed; there, the few travellers who have been so unwise, or so unfortunate, as to be left out of doors, are surly in consequence, and give but grudging greet ing to any one they meet.

Download or read book Dandies written by Susan Fillin-Yeh and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2001-03 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dandies: Fashion and Finesse in Art and Culture considers the visual languages, politics, and poetics of personal appearance. Dandyism has been most closely associated with influential caucasian Western men-about-town, epitomized by the 19th century style-setting of Oscar Wilde and by Tom Wolfe's white suits. The essays collected here, however, examine the spectacle and workings of dandyism to reveal that these were not the only dandies. On the contrary, art historians, literary and cultural historians, and anthropologists identify unrecognized dandies flourishing among early 19th century Native Americans, in Soviet Latvia, in Africa, throughout the African-American diaspora, among women, and in the art world. Moving beyond historical and fictional accounts of dandies, this volume juxtaposes theoretical models with evocative images and descriptions of clothing in order to link sartorial self-construction with artistic, social, and political self-invention. Taking into consideration the vast changes in thinking about identity in the academy, Dandies provides a compelling study of dandyism's destabilizing aesthetic enterprise. Contributors: Jennifer Blessing, Susan Fillin-Yeh, Rhonda Garelick, Joe Lucchesi, Kim Miller, Robert E. Moore, Richard J. Powell, Carter Ratcliffe, and Mark Allen Svede.
Download or read book I Am Dandy written by Nathaniel Adams and published by Die Gestalten Verlag-DGV. This book was released on 2013 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world of uniformity and globalized styles, only some cultivated gentlemen retain their independence over the way they dress and live. In this book, photographer Rose Callahan and writer Nathaniel Adams document the well-kempt lives of 57 protagonists of contemporary dandyism with a keen, yet empathie eye. Their carefully composed portraits not only depict the clothes, accessories, and homes of their subjects, but also capture the essence of their lifestyles in thoroughly entertaining and deeply insightful texts. The diversity of the men portrayed in I am Dandy is striking. They come from a variety of different countries, cultures, and social circles and make their livings in a range of occupations. By showcasing their styles, attitudes, and philosophies in all of their nuances, the book reveals that dandyism today is an attitude and calling that can be cultivated on any budget.
